What is the order of the Hannibal Lecter films?

Answer 1

In chronological order (not the dates release, but the time that the movies took place in his life) are as follows:

1. Hannibal Rising (2007) 2. Manhunter (1986) & Red Dragon (2002) (Both based off the same book) 3. Silence of the Lambs (1991) 4. Hannibal (2001)

Answer 2

Thomas Harris published four novels that feature the Hannibal Lecter character. First was Red Dragon (1981), and the first movie based on it, Manhunter (1986). In Manhunter, the Hannibal Lecter character is played by Brian Cox, not Anthony Hopkins. The second movie that was based on Red Dragon(which is also titled Red Dragon) came out in 2002. Red Dragon (2002) stars Edward Norton, and Anthony Hopkins plays Hannibal Lecter.

Harris published the Silence of the Lambs in 1988. The movie came out in 1991. Then came Hannibal the novel (1999) and Hannibal the movie (2001). Hannibal Rising, the novel, came out in 2006, and Hannibal Rising the movie came out the next year (2007).

Answer 3

Thomas Harris wrote four novels that feature the Hannibal Lecter character: Red Dragon (1981), The Silence of the Lambs (1988), Hannibal (1999), Hannibal Rising(2006).

There are TWO films that are based on Thomas Harris' novel Red Dragon. The first is Manhunter, which came out in 1986. The second is Red Dragon, which came out in 2002.

Hannibal Rising was the last book to be written and filmed, BUT, it is a prequel. It's about Hannibal Lecter's childhood and early adulthood. So, the events in it take place BEFORE Manhunter, Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal.

SO, the order of the movies by when the events take place is:

Hannibal Rising (2007) ---> Manhunter (1986) and Red Dragon (2002) ---> The Silence of the Lambs (1991) ---> Hannibal (2001)

THIS is the order of the movies by their release dates:

Manhunter (1986) ---> The Silence of the Lambs(1991) ---> Hannibal (2001) ---> Red Dragon(2002) ---> Hannibal Rising (2007).
